DeKalb County approves temporary staffing contract for Sunny Meadows
Summary
The DeKalb County Board of Commissioners authorized a contract with Manpower to provide temporary staffing for Sunny Meadows after commissioners raised staffing shortfalls; the motion passed at the May 1, 2025 meeting.
A DeKalb County commissioner raised staffing shortages at Sunny Meadows during the May 1 meeting and asked the board to authorize a temporary staffing contract with Manpower. The board moved and approved a motion to permit the contract.
Commissioner 6 said the county was “having some more staffing issues at Sunny Meadows” and proposed contacting Manpower to secure temporary help to “fulfill some of the gaps that we're having out there with staffing issues.” A commissioner moved to permit a contract with Manpower to alleviate the staffing shortfall and a second was recorded on the meeting record; however, speaker labels in the transcript are ambiguous for the motion/second. The Chair called for the ayes and the Chair announced the motion carries after two affirmative vocal responses were recorded on the transcript.
The transcript does not include contract terms, dollar amounts, or a contracting department; the motion authorizes negotiation or execution of a temporary staffing contract with Manpower to address immediate staffing gaps at Sunny Meadows. The clerk or county staff are expected to follow up with contract paperwork and implementation details.
